Does your Lodge adopt a family or families during the holiday season, either for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or both? Or even for other holidays or just other times of the year.
Reply back with how do you come across names generally, how is it received, what you do for them (meal, presents, assistance, etc).
In this case I really love being able to exercise charity and help contribute to a family that has come upon hard times and really make their holiday something special for them. Share your experiences!

I'll get the ball rolling. In the past, we have "adopted" at least two families during both Thanksgiving and Christmas. The names usually come to us via other organizations or word of mouth. We typically put together a great meal and during Christmas, also drum up presents for kids and something for the parents like practical gift cards, etc. Names have been a little hard to come by the past year though, not sure why.
